The clips that we just watched to connect to everlasting love. These people have meet young and loved each other very much ever since the first time they laid eyes on each other. However, love at first sight contradicts this, as I don't believe in love at first sight. The filmmaker is trying to reveal that the people in these clips have loved each other at first sight, since they laid eyes on each other. These depictions are authentic because love at first sight is not common. Most people get to know their loved one before they absolutely love them. At first I thought love at first sight was not real, but these change my opinion a bit.

ReplyDeleteThe filmmaker is trying to show that two people can just click. The couple that met at the social for their camps, was amazing. He is also showing how certain people share similar interests. The couple that met 30 years after high school again, is an example of how some people don't forget their love. They kept that chance in their head of meeting their perfect mate again. I feel everlasting love is possible, but it is uncommon in my opinion. Teenagers normally don't stick with their friend from high school. It doesn't contradict my beliefs because some people just click and that's that. This is what I thought of the clips.
In the clips the couples reveal how they see their significant other just as they did many years ago. They also said that they still love them just as much. That is what everlasting love truly is. Loving someone until the day you die. You never have any other feelings like that towards anyone else. The filmmaker is trying to reveal the good in relationships. How people can love each other for eternity and never get sick of each other. The filmmaker is also trying to reveal that this does not only happen in movies. These couples really do still love each other just as much as they did years ago.
ReplyDeleteIn the videos the people revealed that everlasting love does in fact exist, that people can stay in love with each other for long periods of time, even if you haven't found it yet. To me, I know that everlasting love does exist, and even if I might not have found it yet, it is out there with that one person. These videos just helped strengthen my belief that it can be found and that person is out there for me. The filmmaker helped pinpoint how the people met and their life story shortened kind of and some other little bits and pieces of information. In the video the people seemed happy and content with their spouses, still in love, and that's definitely something I want, even if it isn't right now. The filmmaker definitely helped reveal how happy it is and reveal some hope, at least inside me, that everlasting love is in fact possible and waiting to happen.
ReplyDeleteThese clips revealed that some love can last forever. It reaches across the wide chasm of time to bind people together. The couples in this clip have been together for many years. One such example that that represented everlasting love was when one couple had loved each other, only to be separated for 34 years, then meet back up and still love each other. I believe that the filmmaker was trying to reveal that love can last forever, and that some people were just made for each other. I do feel that these depiction were as authentic as can be, and that the couples in the video were truly experiencing an everlasting bond. It's good to know that with statistics stating that %50 of marriages end in divorce, there is still love that nothing cannot be broken.
ReplyDeleteThe videos shown in class were nothing short of refreshing. They showed that people can get married, be in love, and stay together until they grow old and die, which most people can't do anymore. I saw a picture once - it was a picture of an elderly couple, arm in arm. A reporter had asked them, "How is it you two have managed to stay together for so long?" The woman responded, "We got married in a time when something was broken, you fixed it instead of throwing it away." These video clips showed that these couples had everlasting love, and could fix it. I believe that everlasting love is very rare, and you have to persevere. Love is work. But love is also unconditional, and these couples, even though they may not be young and handsome or beautiful anymore, still love each other. I think these depictions are authentic, but they don't happen with many people. The film maker is trying to say that everlasting and/or true does exist, despite what most people think.
ReplyDeleteThe clips that we just watched demonstrated a perfect example beautfiul, everlasting love. My concept of everlasting love is that your love for this person will never die down. You will always have feelings for this person and love them no matter what. No matter how long you haven't seen them for, if they commit a crime, if they break up with you, you will still always love them. This was shown in the video clips because Harry and Sally were high school sweethearts until Harry had to move away. Then, 35 years later they met again on Broadway and it was like nothing even changed. They both thought the other was exactly the same. These lessons were exactly what the filmmaker was trying to reveal. That love can last forever. He was also showing that if love is meant to be, then things will fall into place. This was also shown in Harry and Sally because they met once again 35 years later, and just started right back where they left off. I feel the depictions in these clips are very authentic and very true. Sometimes, love is so strong, that it can last an eternity.
ReplyDeleteThe video clips we just watched in class are great examples of everlasting love. All of them show couples in their old ages, still loving each other like its the first day they met. Time didn't take away their love for each other, its as strong as ever. These contradict some of my past beliefs that love goes away over time. The filmmaker is revealing how true love withstands time. I feel these videos are authentic because they show real couples who share everlasting love for each other. All in all, these are my thoughts on the videos clips we watched in class.
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel that these clips are authentic. I think they are because the people remember the day they met, and explained it like it happened not even a week ago. These people had an intimate connection with eachother. One thing that is revealed in these clips is that these people did not stay together at a young age. One of the men said that after 30 years he still remembered her face. To me that is a sign of true love. All of these poeple seem to want an everlasting relationship with there partner, and showed it by the grattitude they expressed in the clip talking about how they met there partner.
ReplyDeleteThe clips tell small stories of a few couples and their lengthy, and still running relationships. Their everlasting love was first built on "love at first site" at a very young age. Then it was built on what seems to be very small, but infinitely important to each couple. Another thing is that, each couple was extremely close, almost close enough to finish each others sentences. They were also very peaceful with one another.

In the video clips we just watched there are three different old aged couples who discuss how they first met. They revealed that they all met at a very young age. This contradicts my beliefs that young love never lasts because they lasted until they grew old together when they had met in the time near high school. The film maker is trying to reveal that it doesn't matter what age you are, love can exist. He is also trying to reveal that love can last a very long time and never get old. I feel that the depictions here were authentic because of the way they spoke to each other. They talked over each other and disagreed, but they did it in a loving way. It seemed like that had just gotten married. These couples found "good melons" at a young age.
ReplyDeleteThe videos we just watched showed three couples that's love has with stood the test of time. The clips from the video told stories of everlasting relationships. The couples that were talking had been together for several years. each one told stories about how they met each other. One clip talked about how her love was unaffected by time. Additionally, the clips showed how fate brought them together. I believe the film maker is trying to prove there is such thing as true love. I feel these clips were very authentic. You could see what strong emotions the people had for each other.

My definition of everlasting love is that from the moment you actually get to know that person, you automatically know that this is your sole mate who you want to spend the rest of you life with. Everlasting love is strong even when you go years and years without seeing that person. In one of the video clips, the man said that after 34 years or so of not seeing each other, they found each other and it was as though they had never missed a day. Everlasting love is a love so strong that lasts through everything and you would do anything for that person. For example, in another one of the videos the man said that when they met on the elevator he rode nine extra floors so he could keep talking to her and they have been in love ever since. Some might say that love at first say comes into play when you are talking about everlasting love. In some cases that is true. For example, in the videos many of the couples said when I met him or her I just knew and then have been together ever since. However, you can have everlasting love that comes from a friendship or a special bond two people share.
ReplyDeleteThe filmmaker of these videos is trying to give people examples of everlasting love to show there are people out there who have been in love for years and years. Another example of everlasting love is portrayed in The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.
I think that these depictions are authentic because the people's stories do portray everlasting love in a good manner.
The depictions of everlasting love shown in the clips are very good examples of what love can become. It shows how some connections can be made to last, even well into old age, and how with the appropriate effort, love can endure. The clips don’t really talk about love at first sight, even in the instance of the husband and wife that met during high school. The relationships all were created over a long span of time, which is why I believe that they have endured so well. The filmmakers are trying to show how strong relationships and bonds are created over long spans of time, with each person devoting themselves to the other in order to keep the relationship functioning. I feel like these are among the most authentic depictions of true love that I have ever seen, and that the people shown are truly blessed to have found someone who cares about them so much that they have been able to maintain loving relationships for all of these years.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that stood out to me in the three videos that we watched was how each couple acted. I feel that their love for each other was revealed. I especially loved the last couple. They kept talking over each other trying to explain their love story. The part I loved the most about it was that they weren't bothered when they spoke over each other. The just showed compation towards one another. I feel as if that's what ever lasting love should look like. Love is all about companionship and compation towards one other. I think that the filmmaker was trying to reveal the different types of relationships there can be, but also the love that they show for each other. I felt that those people really and truly loved each other by the way they showed it.
ReplyDeleteVideo clips of old couples together are always cute, even when they hold hands walking down the street is cute. The clips reveal to the viewer of love between to people. People who have experience with love. Everlasting love is revealed in these clips with just simple small talk really. The couples say in simple statements how they meet, lived far from each other, and even how they stayed together for so long. The filmmaker is probably trying to revel to the world that he or she is a believer in true love and maybe trying to convince other people that true love exists. But still my beliefs on love are still the same. I say this because my parents are divorced and maybe there is something in my head or conscious screaming to me that true love isn't possible. The depictions to me are authentic because it would be pretty hard to try and script or write love, because love is complicated in a way. Well love in general isn't something you can explain it's something that you need to experience and feel.
ReplyDeleteThere are several onnections that can be made to everlasting love in these clips. For example, in the first clip the couple talked about how they were high school sweethearts and then the man moved away and they didn't see each other again till 30 years later. This is an example of everlasting love because even though these two didn't see each other for several years they always thought about each other. They said that when they saw each other again it was like they were still in high school.
ReplyDeleteMy definition of everlasting love would be love that never loses the feeling from the first time people met and doing little things for the other person. In the videos the men tended to say that their wives were always so beautiful. One if I remember correctly said she was as beautiful as she was at sixteen. With that being said you could tell that he truly loved his wife and would never change her for the world. To me, that is a prime example of everlasting love because he loved his wife at that moment as much as he did when she was sixteen. Another reason would be the guy, or girl, going out of their way to do things for the other person. In a different video, the guy said he traveled 9 extra floors, in an elevator, just to continue to talk to his wife. That shows him going out of his way just to get the slightest bit of a conversation with her. None of the videos contradict my beliefs. The filmmaker is trying to show others what everlasting love is like for a variety of couples. These descriptions were most definitely authentic because they portray a great example of everlasting love.
ReplyDeleteThere are many things that all of these videos have in common. One thing is that all of the couples meet when they were at a very young age. All of the couple survived through many years with their partner and I can tell that they are all happy. The next thing that all these clips have in common is that all of the couples never argued. Throughout their marriage they never got into an argument and they love each other dearly. I think that the film maker is trying to say that everlasting love is possible. He shows us the couples that have been together forever and will never be bored of each other’s company. This is what I believe the film maker is trying to tell us.

The video clips that we just watched depicted a few elderly couples talking about when they first fell in love or met the other person. My concept of everlasting love is no matter what happens, whether it be time or distance, you never forget the other and eternally love them. The clips revealed how even though the couples had to suffer through some hardships, they always stuck together. No matter what happened in their lives, they ended up together. It doesn't really contradict my beliefs because I believe that can actually happen. The filmmaker is trying to reveal how love can be everlasting like that. Even though they had to work hard to keep the relationship, it lasted. I feel that the depictions are authentic. This is because all the couples seemed to still love each other, even though it had been a long time. Especially the couple that both spoke at the same time. They seemed to love each other very much.
